Outcome Of Past Nigeria Independence See Them Here

I was given admission into a university, Delsu, Delta State University Abraka, to study history, not my dream course, my substitute course. Those that wrote JAMB will understand. After screening and stress in file submission, I appeared in class, not as a witch doctor but as a student. The Lecturer said; We are going to start today's lecture by reviewing some Nigeria history. She asked, who said, I shall return, and die, in the land of my fathers? Nobody attempted to answer the question. I raised up my hand and she called on me, you! I replied; King Jaja of Opobo, 1875. Very good! She commended. Who said the land use act will feed the nation? Nobody attempted to answer. My hand went up and she called on me. Obasanjo, 1976. I replied. She snapped at the rest students, you all should be ashamed of yourselves. This boy whom I presumed just resumed knows about Nigerian history than you who have been attending classes since the first day of resumption. What a shame! I weep for you all. A loud voice came from the back of the class; What's my business! Who said that? The lecturer asked. I stood up and replied; Abacha, 1995. A student from the middle scornfully said; I'm better than you. Who said that? She asked. I replied; Abiola to Babangida, 1997. Another student yelled furiously; Now! Eat this! I jumped up, waved at the Lecturer and shouted; Indian mistress giving apple to Abacha, 1998. As the class was getting rowdy, someone said; You little shit. If you say anything again, I will kill you. I shouted at the top of my voice; Chris Uba to Ngige, 2004. The Lecturer fainted. As we gathered around her on the floor, a girl said; Oh my God! We are in big trouble. I whispered; Chimaroke Nnamani, Ayodele Fayose and Chief Lucky Igbinedion, 2007. Angrily, a guy said; Don't reply him, he's a fool. I smiled and said; Obasanjo to Babangida, 2011. All the students took to their heels. The Lecturer got up and asked; Who sent you? I replied; Goodluck Jonathan to Boko Haram, 2013. She retorted; Are you for real? I replied; Fashola to Ebola, 2014.
